What's a super comfy glider rocking chair?

[SunnyRain]

Night feeds with my first son were a backbreaking nightmare, so I am going to "spoil" myself and buy a glider this time.

Can anyone recommend their glider as the most comfortable, dream-like feeding chair ever to be created, perfect in every capacity? Good looking, too.

Expense isn't a problem because I'll be keeping an eye out on ebay or for sales over the next few months, so I don't care what the price tag said.

Or, what should I look out for? Any tips or what to avoid greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

K, we have a great rocker/glider, I'm sure it's a valco but I can check for more info when I get home from work tomorrow. The chair is in DS's room & he's fast asleep now

I'll be back with more info tomorrow night but posting now so I won't forget & I also wanted to wish you a hope you had a great day!

We've got a leather Babyhood glider (with the matching rocking footstool) and it's awesome!! I have spent so much time in this chair (yes, I'm in it right now!) since we got it a few months before DD was born. My parents bought it for us and I think it was about $400. It's worth every penny and more though!

My only issue is DD stopped BF just shy of her first birthday so now I don't really have a legitimate reason to boot family or friends out of it! it's the most popular chair in the house and we have a damn nice leather lounge, lol

Valco Zen Glider with matching gliding foot stool. Awesome!

We got a swallow glider and footstool from Ebay (originally from babyco), they come up quite cheaply, and we ended up buying a second one for DD's room as we still use the one in DS's room for book and milk before nap and bed at night.
The one for our DD's room was only $90 I think

Thanks for the recommendations. They sound dreamy delicious.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, HC.

I tried the babyhood sovereign and Manhattan gliders in store and think they are lovely, smooth gliding, soft as a cloud. High backs with soft pillows.

But I tried the valco Zen and I'm only 5'4", but the pillow on the back rest was uncomfortably low so it was almost shoulder height in an upright position, also it clicked when it glided. I was disappointed.

I also tried a couple of euro brand gliders in store and hated them.

So far I think I would only buy the babyhood ones.

Anyone else have an experience trying then all out?

Update: i changed my mind completely and bought an Ikea poang chair. I'm absolutely loving it, it seems designed before BFing. Low arm rests, great back support, bouncy frame and with my Ikea family discount it was so cheap.

I love that it's small, light and easy to move even, and looks really groovy.

It saved my back from painful spasms when i got home from hospital
